‘Around and About’ An Exhibition by Eileen Mair & Martine Moran Official Opening 9 September, 2016

‘Around and About’ an exhibition of printmaking, etching and sculpture by popular and respected local artists Eileen Mair and Martine Moran will be exhibited from 9th September to 9th October 2016 at the Bicentennial Creative Arts Gallery, Chandos Street Gunnedah.

‘Around and About’ features artworks which question the present health of our earth and the way humanity impacts our environment.

Martine investigates discarded and abandoned belongings which she reinvigorates with new life, transforming them into whimsical, and sometimes quirky, sculptures that possess a unique artistic charm. Martine looks at interactions between people, objects and the natural world, using a wide variety of mediums. Her works range from artistic constructions to body adornments.

Eileen explores urban spaces and the way birds interact with our world. Her ‘Rooftop’ series of prints focus on how the birds have adapted to today’s ‘urbantopias’. Her etched collection ‘Into the frying pan’ questions how global warming is affecting life in the animal and plant world.

“Around and About’ is a collection of captivating and playful works that are thought provoking and insightful. Eileen and Martine are very active and passionate members of Gunnedah’s Arts Community. I encourage all members of the community to come and see this wonderful collection” said Gunnedah Shire Council’s Cultural officer, Lauren Mackley.

The exhibition officially opens at 6pm on Friday, 9th September, 2016. Wine and cheese platters will be provided.
